Developing metabolic cell-based assays on the CLARIOstar

Ryan is part of the Cell Analysis Division at Agilent Technologies (former Luxcel Biosciences). Agilent develops fluorescence-based microplate assays to measure metabolism in different cell types. Assays include: oxygen consumption, extracellular acidification, and intracellular oxygen assay for measuring O2 concentration at a cellular level.

The CLARIOstar microplate reader is used in the lab for most of the assay development duties and offers a one-click solution for the Agilent metabolic assays. All Agilent measurement protocols come pre-installed on the reader and the MARS templates make data analysis very simple.
